Chapter 821: The Gentleman's Covenant 1
The higher the status, the higher the vision, so between people like Zhang Ru and Xu Li, it is difficult to say that there is any real emotion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is more of an entanglement of interests between each other.
Because of Xu Huaiyuan's matter, Xu Li was exhausted, and Zhang Ru was also dizzy. Now that Xu Huaiyuan and his party have all been arrested and brought to justice, Xu Li has a pimple in his heart.
How to say that Xu Huaiyuan is also his son.
The pimple is not big, just a little.
After all, his son made an unforgivable mistake, and it was not easy to come back alive.
The greetings and politeness of the false and the snake soon lost their original meaning, and after a period of silence, the two of them had returned to the Wei Mansion unconsciously.
It is still so magnificent, still so solemn, the Wei Mansion is a sacred and inviolable place in Yingtian.
"Let's go in, the family has already prepared the meal, you have a long journey, eat whatever you want." Wait for the evening, my brother will hold a reception banquet for you. Xu Li patted Zhang Ru's arm and took the lead in walking inside.
Zhang Ru sighed and watched Xu Li's back drift away for a long time before he followed.
Some things change, they can't be predicted, and some things, once they change, may never have room to maneuver again.
"What's next? Is it for a period of time in Jinling? Or go back to Beijing? During the banquet, Xu Li asked as if unintentionally.
Zhang Ru's mouth was stuffed with food, and he said after swallowing: "I have to spend a few days in the Wei State Mansion, and I hope that the old brother will not dislike it." ā
Xu Li said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there are extra rooms in the house, as long as Wenxuan is willing, it is not a problem to live for a year and a half." I'm afraid that when the time comes, the saint will miss it very much and blame the foolish brother. ā
Zhang Ru smiled and changed the topic: "Brother, this dish is good!" Dare to ask which famous artist is it from? ā
He knew that Xu Li's heart must be very entangled now, because he had lost the face of the Wei State Mansion, and even if Xu Li wanted him to stay, he couldn't take the initiative to say this.
is polite in front of others, and now they are all their own people, and there is no need to be polite.
Change the subject at this time, ease the embarrassment, or at least not embarrass each other.
Xu Li's face changed, and he said with a smile: "My brother is really discerning!" The cook was specially invited from Hunan by Brother Yu. The people in the house disliked that his cooking was too strong, and few people liked to eat the dishes he cooked, but the foolish brother was full of praise for the dishes he cooked. ā
Zhang Ru also said: "Heroes cherish heroes!" This dish tastes really good, fragrant, spicy, and authentic. ā
In his previous life, he was from Hunan, so he naturally likes to eat Hunan food. Chili peppers, a tropical crop native to Latin America, arrived there after the Ming Dynasty lifted the ban on the sea, bringing the seeds.
After that, it became the favorite of Hunan people.
Judging from the dishes and tastes, the taste of this chef invited by Xu Li is not too heavy, you must know that Zhang Ru was the master who eliminated two large portions of super spicy crayfish by himself in his previous life.
Of course, his master is Xu Li, not Zhang Ru, so it is Xu Li's taste that naturally needs to be welcomed.
Seeing that Zhang Ru kept stuffing food into his mouth, and his forehead and the tip of his nose were already slightly sweating, Xu Li was relieved: "I thought that no one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang would understand the taste of the old man in this life, but I didn't expect Wenxuan that you also like to eat this flavor of food." Not bad, not bad. If Wen Xuan likes it, this cook, Brother Fool can let you take it back to the capital. ā
Zhang Ru waved his hand while eating: "No, no, the gentleman doesn't win people's love, how can the little brother take the cook away!" Besides, the younger brother has to bother the elder brother in the mansion for a few days, and after a few days of full food, the younger brother will send someone to Hunan to find a good cook. ā
Satisfying the appetite has always been a human instinct.
Since this cook is Xu Li's favorite, he naturally can't say anything about taking people away.
In addition, Xu Huaiyuan's incident made the two of them feel a little pimple in their hearts, and he would not be so ignorant.
Xu Li didn't force it, but asked casually: "I don't know if Wenxuan has any arrangements tonight?" If not, my brother will have to fulfill his promise. ā
Zhang Ru smiled bitterly: "Brother, you don't know that Wenxuan's family is here, and the two of them are not easy to mess with, Wenxuan doesn't dare to go out and mess around tonight." ā
Xu Li scolded with a smile: "Look at your courage, you are the dignified Duke of Dingguo, why are you still afraid of two women." This fear of guilt is not a good habit! ā
Zhang Ru said pitifully: "No way, who let the little brother be poisoned by them!" There are beautiful girls everywhere in the world, but it's not easy to trick one or two to go home and give birth to your baby laundry and cooking.
It's like the throne is very good, everyone is fascinated, but how many people can really become emperors?
Don't say it's an ordinary person, it's like a high-ranking existence like you and me, I'm afraid I don't dare to think that position is not.
Occasionally, it's okay to be secretly fishy when they're not there, but Wen Xuan still doesn't dare to play this routine in front of the two of them.
Just like a person who pretenders to the throne can think about it without others knowing, it is okay to let people know, let alone do it casually. ā
Xu Li saw that he had something to say, touched his beard and said: "This makes sense, what should be yours is yours, what should not be yours, and it is useless to force it."
Not everyone has the ability to be in a high position, those peddlers and pawns, and who doesn't want to drink wine every day like you and me.
Some people say that fate is unfair, and some people say that they were born at the wrong time, but even if they are really born in troubled times, there are only a few people who can live and win to the end.
The elder brother sees it very clearly at this point, it is his own, he can't be less at all, it's not his own, he can't want it at all.
There are some things, if you take them, you can only do it if your father has a life. ā
Zhang Ru raised his glass: "Brother, this time, Wenxuan has offended a lot, please don't mind, brother." Wen Xuan is not for his own selfishness, he can only offend. ā
Xu Li smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ā
He said this, but his hand did not reach the glass.
It seems that the old guy is still a little angry in his heart.
This kind of anger did not reach the point of life and death, nor did it reach the point of retreating to Zhang Ru, it just made him simply feel that his relationship with Zhang Ru had changed.
You must know that in the harshly worded letter, Zhang Ru said some things, but they were very polite.
Zhang Ru drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and poured another glass: "If the elder brother refuses to forgive, Wenxuan can only continue to drink." ā
Without waiting for Xu Li to speak, he tilted his neck and drank another drink.
When the fifth glass of wine was full, the expression in Xu Li's eyes changed significantly. (To be continued.) )
